Hand-guided sweeper

1. A hand-guided sweeper comprising:

a guide rod;

at least one handle attached to said guide rod for guiding the sweeper over the ground;

at least one sweeper brush;

a drive motor for driving said sweeper brush in rotation;

at least one wheel and said at least one wheel and said sweeper brush being in contact engagement with the ground during operation of said sweeper;

a first adjusting device for positionally adjusting said guide rod relative to said sweeper brush about an axis vertical with respect to the ground;

a second adjusting device for positionally adjusting said guide rod relative to said sweeper brush and said wheel about an axis horizontally referred to the ground;

said first adjusting device including first and second openings and a pin for engaging said first opening in a first position of said first adjusting device and for engaging said second opening in a second position of said first adjusting device; and,

said first adjusting device further including a spring for holding said pin in said first or second opening.

2. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 1 , further comprising a connecting flange; and, said first and second adjusting devices being mounted on said connecting flange with said connecting flange being common to both of said adjusting devices.

3. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 2 , wherein said first adjusting device further includes a mounting flange attached to said connecting flange so as to be rotatable thereon about said vertical axis; and, said actuating element is attached to said mounting flange.

4. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 3 , further comprising a mount common to both said drive motor and said sweeper brush; and, said drive motor, said sweeper brush and said mounting flange all being mounted on said mount.

5. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 3 , wherein at least one of said mounting flange and said connecting flange contains magnesium.

6. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 1 , wherein said first adjusting device includes a third opening; said three openings being arranged so as to permit said sweeper brush to be arranged to assume a position parallel to the running direction of said at least one wheel and a position rotated by 15° in both directions relative to said running direction of said at least one wheel.

7. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 1 , wherein said guide rod has a first end facing toward said sweeper brush; and, said first adjusting device is mounted on said first end of said guide rod.

8. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 7 , wherein said guide rod has a second end facing away from said sweeper brush; and, said first adjusting device includes an actuating element which extends up to said second end of said guide rod.

9. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 8 , wherein said actuating element is configured as an actuating tube connected to said pin.

10. A hand-guided sweeper comprising:

a guide rod;

at least one handle attached to said guide rod for guiding the sweeper over the ground;

at least one sweeper brush;

a drive motor for driving said sweeper brush in rotation;

at least one wheel and said at least one wheel and said sweeper brush being in contact engagement with the ground during operation of said sweeper;

a first adjusting device for positionally adjusting said guide rod relative to said sweeper brush about an axis vertical with respect to the ground;

a second adjusting device for positionally adjusting said guide rod relative to said sweeper brush and said wheel about an axis horizontally referred to the ground; and,

said second adjusting device including first and second toothed elements which are in mutual engagement.

11. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 10 , further comprising a connecting flange; and, said first toothed element being connected to said connecting flange so as to not rotate relative thereto and said second toothed element being connected to said guide rod so as to not rotate relative thereto.

12. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 11 , said second adjusting device further including means for releasably clamping said first and second toothed elements against each other.

13. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 12 , said connecting flange being so pretensioned that said first and second toothed elements can be rotated relative to each other when said clamping means is loosened.

14. The hand-guided sweeper of claim 11 , wherein said guide rod defines a center axis and said second adjusting device is configured so as to be mirror symmetrical with respect to said center axis; and, wherein said first and second toothed elements define a first pair of toothed elements and said second adjusting device includes a second pair of said toothed elements; and, said first and second pairs of toothed elements are disposed on respective sides of said guide rod.
